The WA Wilderness Society says it is astounded by revelations only one member of the Environmental Protection Authority contributed to a report on the James Price Point gas hub.

Four out of five members on the EPA board were prevented from participating due to potential conflicts of interest.

That leaves chairman Paul Vogel as the sole contributor to the report, due to be released next week.

The Wilderness Society's Peter Robertson says the board's integrity has been seriously compromised.

"Well what's the point of having an independent board if four of the five members have been ruled out of making a decision about one of the most significant and controversial projects that WA has ever seen," he said.

"It just makes a mockery of the idea of having a board and EPA at all."

Mr Robertson is calling for the Environment Minister Bill Marmion to delay the report and appoint a new, independent panel.
